FNET - Embedded TCP/IP Stack Reviews

After some time we managed to port and test the FNET Stack on our MCF5475 platform (SenTec Cobra5475 Board) and so far it performs well. We have not yet deployed multi-threading and we compile the code with GCC in combination with an RTOS (CMX). To use two FECs, a few extensions have to be made. What could be helpful are the RX_CALLBACK giving back the active socket as a parameter and maybe some graphs in the documentation may ease things considerably. But this of course this is quite some effort. Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing this to the public.

Really good work! Have been using it for a while now without any problems. Running on Kinetis ARM Cortex-M4 (K66) using UDP and MDNS/Bonjour services. The demos are very helpful!

Very helpful API that was *reasonably* straight-forward to port to other 32-bit MCUs. The demos that come as complimentary to the files are excellent for testing out the basic functionality and for building more specific applications around. Worked perfectly over our BroadR-Reach interface.

Thanks! Most Excellent! I have FNET working with an rtos on the Qorivva MPC564xB/C processor. It looks to be a solid base to build powerful applications.

Good work:)

I just started using FNET after struggling with the buggy Coldfire Lite for 4 years. The goal is to port my application that now is running on Coldfire Lite to FNET. It took me a couple of days to become familiar with the FNET networking functions, but now I'm starting to get the hang of it. I now have a test application running that gets it's network address via DHCP, resolves an address using DNS, requests the time from an NTP server, processes the the reply from the NTP server and displays that time on an LCD screen.

This FNET TCP/IP stack project is extremely well done. It is well written and very comprehensive in it's scope with excellent examples that nicely demonstrate it's capability. Great job and thanks for making this available!

Everybody who manages to create code as clean and well documented as this one can count himself lucky. That's what makes it easy and quick to work with. Best free TCP/IP stack I found, comes with hardware drivers for all relevant Freescale MCUs.
